Inter Milan CEO Giuseppe Marotta has reaffirmed that Romelu Lukaku will return to Chelsea following the completion of his loan but suggested that discussions will take place over the Belgian's future.
After a difficult season with the Blues, Lukaku returned to Inter on a season-long loan and has struggled with injury but has featured more frequently in the latter half of the term. The 29-year-old striker has netted nine times across 27 appearances in all competition but scored a brace and added an assist in his last outing against Empoli.
Given the circumstances of his season with Chelsea that combined a difficult season on the pitch and a controversial interview off it, that tainted his relationship with many supporters, it has been difficult to imagine the £97.5million signing making a return to Stamford Bridge. Though any time with the Blues will be spent under a new head coach, who will be required to make their own assessment.
